					<description><![CDATA[The cartoon picture of The Trump in fight mode with The Pope, 

Reminded me of the WWF and how The Trump was also featured with the other rock n roll wrestlers in pretend bouts with their friends.

It&#039;s bad comedy that people think he is at war with the pope&#039;s, he won the Catholic Al Smith dinner, is a Knights Malta, Actor, Rich Merchant and King of the earth who would have received power in a hour when he visited the papacy and kissed the papal ring <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f48d.png" alt="💍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Absolutely.

There is a big difference between a Christian Nation and a nation founded on Christian Principles. 
And the most striking of those principles is not forcing your religion, even if it is Christianity on anyone. 

In other words, it is never Christian or Christ-like to force anything on anyone, even Christianity, no matter the cost or the situation, as dire as it may be. 

The same God, who never changes, allowed Adam and Eve to exercise the freedom and liberty to choose to love Him through obedience to His Commandments, or disobey Him. We know the conclusion to this, and even how dire and sorrowful the consequence of sin is, God never forced them. And even now in the Redemption process, Christ calls gently in longsuffering to us all, that we should repent. 2 Peter 3:9

No where in the Holy Word of God you can find an instance of God forcing anything on anyone. 

They lie against God when they claim Him in their efforts of war and enforcing morality. Because the Scriptures are clear:

“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. ”
2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV


Now God prophesied this will happen. And it is: 

 a lamb.” The lamblike horns indicate youth, innocence, and gentleness, fitly representing the character of the United States when presented to the prophet as “coming up” in 1798. Among the Christian exiles who first fled to America and sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance were many who determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Their views found place in the Declaration of Independence, which sets forth the great truth that “all men are created equal” and endowed with the inalienable right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” And the Constitution guarantees to the people the right of self-government, providing that representatives elected by the popular vote shall enact and administer the laws. Freedom of religious faith was also granted, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. Republicanism and Protestantism became the fundamental principles of the nation. These principles are the secret of its power and prosperity. The oppressed and downtrodden throughout Christendom have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth.
But the beast with lamblike horns “spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed; ... saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make  an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” Revelation 13:11-14.
The lamblike horns and dragon voice of the symbol point to a striking contradiction between the professions and the practice of the nation thus represented. The “speaking” of the nation is the action of its legislative and judicial authorities. By such action it will give the lie to those liberal and peaceful principles which it has put forth as the foundation of its policy. The prediction that it will speak “as a dragon” and exercise “all the power of the first beast” plainly foretells a development of the spirit of intolerance and persecution that was manifested by the nations represented by the dragon and the leopardlike beast. And the statement that the beast with two horns “causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast” indicates that the authority of this nation is to be exercised in enforcing some observance which shall be an act of homage to the papacy.
Such action would be directly contrary to the principles of this government, to the genius of its free institutions, to the direct and solemn avowals of the Declaration of Independence, and to the Constitution. The founders of the nation wisely sought to guard against the employment of secular power on the part of the church, with its inevitable result—intolerance and persecution. The Constitution provides that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” and that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” Only in flagrant violation of these safeguards to the nation’s liberty, can any religious observance be enforced by civil authority. But the inconsistency of such action is no greater than is represented in the symbol. It is the beast with lamblike horns—in profession pure, gentle, and harmless—that speaks as a dragon.&quot;  Ellen White &#039;Great Controversy&#039;, pages 440.2- 442.2]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The words from Bishop Robert Barron shows clearly who is calling the shots in the Washington D.C. Many people think that it&#039;s the U.S president is the one who is calling the shots but they are deceiving themselves? &#039;&#039; They are dead wrong?&#039;&#039; We  read the following words from the inspiration writings (spirit of prophecy). Roman Catholic principles will be taken under care and protection by the state.  This national apostacy will speedily followed by  national ruin. -(Review and Herald) June 15, 1897. So according to the Catholic catechism paragraph# 2309, the U.S president is required not to go beyond the limits in war as prescribed by the Papacy.   The Roman Catholic principles clearly supersede the constitution of the United States just as the spirit of prophecy predicted.  Also there is another excerpt to prove who calls the shots in Washington D.C- Priest D.S Phelan , Western Watchman, June 27,1912, - The Pope is the ruler of the world. All the emperors, all the Kings, all the princes, all the Presidents of the world are as these altar boys of mine. So, as we know it&#039;s the duty of altar boy to listen to his superiors in this case the priest on what to do and what not to do?

In the recent past , we have heard the spat between Pope Leo XIV, and President Donald Trump over the Iran war in the middle east. But the world believes this falsehood, this is what we call &#039;&#039; Hegelian dialectic&#039;&#039; where two people are engaged in a concert blaming each other for cause of the problem (thesis) and then look for a solution (anti-thesis) . create a problem ,then criticize but in reality you are opposed to the one common cause you are upto, this is what the two individuals are pretending. Pope Leo XIV, Pretends that he is a &#039;&#039;man of peace&#039;&#039; but if you do a thorough research the Papacy has committed evil and untold atrocities especially to the faithful  christians who are opposed to their dogma. From the book of History of rationalization of Europe volume II, It says, ... The Church of Rome has shed more blood than any other institution that has ever existed    in the history of the mankind. Including the two world wars.

The Papacy is the only power that dictates the world leaders on how to run the world affairs from the days of dark ages upto date. This power has been existence for 1,900 years, and all the nations of the world have been taking orders from the Popes and submitting to their authority.  If you &#039;re a leader of a particular country and fail to take heed to Pope&#039;s agenda then you automatically become a marked man  as it happened against Venezuela&#039;s Maduro.  So, in these final hours of closing scenes of the earth&#039;s history the Papacy is going to be a force to reckon with especially in the religious front where the new world order will have the most impact.  The papacy is working behind the scenes inorder to gain the world prominence.]]></description>

Pete Hegseth attends Doug Wilson&#039;s church in DC. Doug Wilson is Evangelical and his church has largely become the face of Christian Nationalism. 

Trump&#039;s cabinet does hold prominent Catholics. JD Vance and Marco Rubio are notable for their meeting with Pope Leo and subsequent speeches promoting a Roman-style church state. These men aren&#039;t just Catholic, they are Catholic Integralists (which is the Catholic version of Christian Nationalist). 

As everybody is focusing on the Catholic/Protestant takeover of government, don&#039;t get so caught up that you forget about the third component of the threefold union. Spiritualism is coming and it&#039;s going to come fast and hard. It is so much more than just &quot;dead relatives&quot; coming back. It is &quot;heathen deities&quot; appearing before the cities of the world. It is &quot;fearful sights of a supernatural character revealed in the heavens&quot;. It is &quot;disclosure day&quot; when Earth is made to realize that we are not alone, that &quot;non-human intelligences&quot; are actively involved in the affairs of men. It&#039;s about to get dynamic. Get ready.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is the Hegelian dialectic at play at its finest. What needs to be pointed out is that the US and the papacy are already aligned together. The evidence is clearly there. For example, it has been reported that the reason the U.S. went into Venezuela was because there was mounting tensions with the Vatican and the Venezuelan government under the rule of Nicholas Maduro (https://religionnews.com/2026/01/07/vatican-faces-complicated-balancing-act-in-responding-to-us-arrest-of-maduro/). The US went in on behalf of the Vatican, but of course they will try to make it look like they had nothing to do with the US invasion. Moreover, how many Roman Catholics does President Trump have on his cabinet. MANY! That includes, for example, his press secretary Karoline Leavitt and his secretary for the Department of War Pete Hegseth. These are not blind appointments. 

Brother Roman, you rightly pointed out that they want you to take a side, and whatever side you take will ultimately lead you to Rome and potentially receiving the mark of beast. This is how the Hegelian dialectic works. Two seemingly opposing sides are pitted against each other, people are forced to take a side, and then the so called solution is brought forth thereafter. This is the same dynamic seen in politics with Democrats and Republicans, the left and the right. Sadly, this same foolishness has been brought into the church, within our ranks, and sadly people are falling for it. 

My brothers and sisters, let us not get caught up with the game the president and the pope are playing, but let us do what God has called us to do which is to proclaim the everlasting gospel, the three angels messages, present truth in these last closing scenes of this earth&#039;s history.]]></description>

For example, it has been reported that the reason the U.S. went into Venezuela was because there was mounting tensions with the Vatican and the Venezuelan government under the rule of Nicholas Maduro (<a href="https://religionnews.com/2026/01/07/vatican-faces-complicated-balancing-act-in-responding-to-us-arrest-of-maduro/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://religionnews.com/2026/01/07/vatican-faces-complicated-balancing-act-in-responding-to-us-arrest-of-maduro/</a>). The US went in on behalf of the Vatican, but of course they will try to make it look like they had nothing to do with the US invasion. Moreover, how many Roman Catholics does President Trump have on his cabinet. MANY! That includes, for example, his press secretary Karoline Leavitt and his secretary for the Department of War Pete Hegseth. These are not blind appointments. </p>
<p>Brother Roman, you rightly pointed out that they want you to take a side, and whatever side you take will ultimately lead you to Rome and potentially receiving the mark of beast. This is how the Hegelian dialectic works. Two seemingly opposing sides are pitted against each other, people are forced to take a side, and then the so called solution is brought forth thereafter. This is the same dynamic seen in politics with Democrats and Republicans, the left and the right. Sadly, this same foolishness has been brought into the church, within our ranks, and sadly people are falling for it. </p>
<p>My brothers and sisters, let us not get caught up with the game the president and the pope are playing, but let us do what God has called us to do which is to proclaim the everlasting gospel, the three angels messages, present truth in these last closing scenes of this earth&#8217;s history.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Are we sure this isn&#039;t &quot;slight of hand&quot;, or this what they want us to see, while the truth is hidden? 

&quot;The world is a theater, and the actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. God is lost sight of. With the great masses of humanity, there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes. God is looking on. His purposes in regard to His rebellious subjects will be fulfilled. The world has not been given into the hands of men, tho God is permitting the elements of confusion and disorder to bear sway for a season. A power from beneath is working to bring about the last scenes in the drama,—Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who are binding themselves together in secret societies. Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. Cause will be followed by effect.&quot; &#039;Signs of the Times&#039; November 21,  1906, par. 2]]></description>
